Shaeffer,  Daily News-Record , September 14, 1959.","Edna Trout Shaeffer was born near Harrisonburg on January 11, 1886 to Edmund Shaeffer and Dora M. Shaeffer. She studied music in Boston and New York and became Glee Club Director at the State Normal School for Women at Harrisonburg in 1916, a position she held until her retirement in 1956. Shaeffer was also a member of the music faculty and, in addition to the Glee Club, she worked with the Madison College Chorus. Perhaps the most significant highlight from her tenure at Madison occurred in March 1956 when Shaeffer, along with 29 Glee Club members, performed for service members in Keflavik, Iceland; Lajes Field, Azores; and Kindley Air Force Base, Bermuda. The performances were part of an Easter Concert Tour with the Military Air Transport Service Division of the United States Air Force. Other highlights include performances in Winchester's Apple Blossom Festival, singing partnerships with other colleges, performances with the National Symphony Orchestra, and a 1955 trip to Florida to sing with the Federation of Music Clubs.","Outside of the college, Shaeffer served as Director of Music and organist at Harrisonburg's First Presbyterian Church for 52 years. She was a former president of the Virginia Federation of Music Clubs and was a member of the American Guild of Organists.","Shaeffer died September 12, 1959 and is buried at Woodbine Cemetery in Harrisonburg. Shaeffer's impact on the JMU community reached well beyond her time at the university and beyond her lifetime. The Latimer-Shaeffer Theatre opened in Duke Hall in 1967 and was named after Shaeffer and Mary Latimer, former head of the drama department at Madison College. The theatre closed in 2010 with a final production of \"bobrauschenbergamerica.\" Additionally, the Edna T. Shaeffer Humanist Award is awarded to faculty members in the College of Arts and Letters and the College of Visual and Performing Arts for scholarly research projects on topics in the humanities.","Based on an earlier iteration of the collection title (Edna T. Shaeffer Retirement Album), this collection of letters was likely bound in an album or scrapbook at some point. The current state of the letters is that they are all loose. It is unclear when they were removed from their original housing or what became of the album. In order to streamline the process of applying collection numbers, Special Collections staff completed a large-scale renumbering campaign in the spring of 2017.  This collection was previously cataloged as SU 93-0331.","JMU Special Collections houses numerous collections of Glee Club alumni.","The Edna T. Shaeffer Retirement Letters, 1940, 1956, is a collection of approximately 60 congratulatory letters presented to Shaeffer upon her retirement as director of the Glee Club from Madison College. Correspondents are former students who sang under direction and tutelage. The correspondents share fond memories and funny anecdotes of time spent in the Glee Club and express their appreciation of Shaeffer's leadership, knowledge, and expertise. Of particular interest is a letter from a former student, Helen, who wrote to Shaeffer just 24 hours after giving birth to congratulate her on her retirement. A May 1, 1956 letter from Mrs. Walter E. Hoffman includes two black-and-white photographs of Hoffman. Other correspondents include Delphine Hurst Parsons, Mary Spitzer Etter, Inez Graybeal Roop, and Julia Smith Martin.","Two letters not directly related to Shaeffer's retirement include a letter from Albert H. Franz of the United States Air Force expressing his appreciation of the Glee Club's outstanding entertainment provided to service personnel in Iceland, the Azores, and Bermuda. The second is a thank-you letter dated January 14, 1940 from Gray Pifer, music instructor at the Pythian Home in New Market.","The copyright interests in this collection have been transferred to the James Madison University Special Collections Library.

Shaeffer's impact on the JMU community reached well beyond her time at the university and beyond her lifetime. The Latimer-Shaeffer Theatre opened in Duke Hall in 1967 and was named after Shaeffer and Mary Latimer, former head of the drama department at Madison College. The theatre closed in 2010 with a final production of \"bobrauschenbergamerica.\" Additionally, the Edna T. Shaeffer Humanist Award is awarded to faculty members in the College of Arts and Letters and the College of Visual and Performing Arts for scholarly research projects on topics in the humanities."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003e[Identification of item], [box #, folder #], Edna T.

Accessed January 26, 2017. https://www.jmu.edu/visitors/about/index.shtml.","James Madison University's Board of Visitors was created in 1964 with the prime directive of overseeing the effective government of the university, then Madison College. When the institution opened in 1908 as the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg, the governing body was its own Board of Trustees. The school changed its name to the State Normal School for Women at Harrisonburg in 1914 and governance was shifted to the Virginia Normal School Board, a state agency. The institution was renamed once again in 1924 to the State Teachers College at Harrisonburg. The governance also experienced change as control was transferred to the State Board of Education. In 1964, the final change occurred when the Virginia General Assembly established independent boards of visitors for each of the state's former teacher colleges.","The Governor of Virginia holds the power of appointing each member of the Board of Visitors. The first Board of Visitors was comprised of 11 members; its first rector was Burr P. Harrison. The Virginia General Assembly acted to have the board size increased to 15 members in 1989. Of the selected members, no more than two can be non-Virginians and board members include both JMU alumni and non-alumni. In addition to appointed members, a student representative and the speaker of the JMU Faculty Senate serve on the board. Terms of service do apply as board members are not eligible to serve more than two consecutive four-year terms. Officers of the board (rector, vice rector, and secretary) are elected annually by the board for one-year terms.","The collection was reprocessed in 2016 and contains all documents from the original accession (PR 99-1122) except for the Faculty Minutes, 1908-1998, which were removed to form a separate collection (UA 0011). A copy of the original finding aid is located in the collection control file. Old collection folders were reused during reprocessing and folder titles were retained when possible. Inserts found in the Board of Trustees Minute Book were removed and foldered separately. The inserts were subsequently photocopied and those copies are also foldered separately. The Board of Visitors meeting minutes and President's Reports were originally bound, but were disbound in 2016 during reprocessing.","The Office of the President: Board of Visitors Records document the activities of the James Madison University Board of Visitors and its predecessor, the Board of Trustees. The collection is comprised primarily of meeting minutes and correspondence. Minutes from the Board of Visitors' first meeting on July 16, 1964 are included. Researchers should note that meeting minutes from the various iterations of university governing bodies between 1914 and 1963 are not included. The correspondence is chiefly official memoranda, letters concerning business and new board members, and contractual agreements granting faculty members temporary leaves of absence. The collection also includes annual reports and reports to the Board of Visitors, financial materials documenting lease agreements involving James Madison University, athletic program expenditure statements, and audit reports. Miscellaneous items include documents explaining the origins of buildings' names, a Board of Visitors manual, and a document of Board of Visitors Resolutions.","This series comprises chiefly Board of Visitors meeting minutes from 1964 to 2025 beginning with the first meeting on July 16, 1964. During that first meeting the members decided on the official design for \"The Visitors of Madison College,\" agreed upon making the meetings of the Visitors closed to the public, approved of the revised faculty salary, and approved the continuation of degrees being offered to students. Also included is the original Board of Trustees minute book dating from 1908 to 1914. A full transcript is also contained within this series.","This series contains correspondence between fellow board members, government officials, and members of the university administration. Contract agreements between board members and faculty of the college are included. Topics of interest include but are not limited to campus construction and related funding, appropriation increases, project requests, requests related to enrollment increases, G. Tyler Miller's retirement, and faculty promotions.","This series contains documents about the naming of buildings on campus as well as information on resolutions, manuals, honorary degrees and the Russell Weaver Society.","The reports contain data regarding enrollment, campus services, faculty salaries, and financial records. Also included are recommendations from the president on approvals of resignations and appointments, budget increases, academic changes, campus expansion, etc. These reports provide an overview of the administrative proceedings of the university from one year to the next and are comprised of reports to the State Board of Education, reports to the Board of Visitors, annual reports, and special reports.","Subseries 5.1: Leases/Legal Documents, 1922-1981, is comprised primarily of lease agreements between James Madison University, both as the lessor and lessee, and persons or companies. Of particular interest are the fire insurance documents which include a Schedule of Buildings at the State Teachers College at Harrisonburg (June 2, 1924) and a Fire Insurance Report on State Teacher's College, Harrisonburg, Virginia (February 1932) prepared by the Philadelphia Fire \u0026 Marine Insurance Company. The Schedule of Buildings lists all campus buildings, their architectural type, date of erection, and total cost. The Fire Insurance Report provides a detailed description of all campus buildings (including University Farm properties in Port Republic) and includes date of erection, occupancy, recommendations, estimated insurable value, and campus map. Photographs are included with each building description.","List of campus buildings detailed (with photographs) in the fire insurance report:","Spotswood Hall Sheldon Hall Johnston Hall Alumnae Hall Walter Reed Hall (Keezell Hall) Wilson Hall Maury Hall (Gabbin Hall) Jackson Hall (Darcus Johnson Hall) Harrison Hall Ashby Hall (Harper Allen-Lee Hall) Hillcrest House Practice House (Varner House) Cleveland Cottage Carter House Cottage No. 2 Stable Practice House (Hooke House) - University Farm, Port Republic Duke Cottage - University Farm, Port Republic Barn - University Farm, Port Republic Caretaker's Dwelling - University Farm, Port Republic","Subseries 5.2: Budget Reports, 1961-1989, contains annual reports, financial reports detailing the university's business and financial operations, reports on audits prepared by the auditor of public accounts for the Commonwealth of Virginia, and a limited amount of material related to athletic program expenses.

Accessed January 26, 2017. https://www.jmu.edu/visitors/about/index.shtml.","James Madison University's Board of Visitors was created in 1964 with the prime directive of overseeing the effective government of the university, then Madison College. When the institution opened in 1908 as the State Normal and Industrial School for Women at Harrisonburg, the governing body was its own Board of Trustees. The school changed its name to the State Normal School for Women at Harrisonburg in 1914 and governance was shifted to the Virginia Normal School Board, a state agency. The institution was renamed once again in 1924 to the State Teachers College at Harrisonburg. The governance also experienced change as control was transferred to the State Board of Education. In 1964, the final change occurred when the Virginia General Assembly established independent boards of visitors for each of the state's former teacher colleges.","The Governor of Virginia holds the power of appointing each member of the Board of Visitors. The first Board of Visitors was comprised of 11 members; its first rector was Burr P. Harrison. The Virginia General Assembly acted to have the board size increased to 15 members in 1989. Of the selected members, no more than two can be non-Virginians and board members include both JMU alumni and non-alumni. In addition to appointed members, a student representative and the speaker of the JMU Faculty Senate serve on the board. Terms of service do apply as board members are not eligible to serve more than two consecutive four-year terms. Officers of the board (rector, vice rector, and secretary) are elected annually by the board for one-year terms.","The collection was reprocessed in 2016 and contains all documents from the original accession (PR 99-1122) except for the Faculty Minutes, 1908-1998, which were removed to form a separate collection (UA 0011). A copy of the original finding aid is located in the collection control file. Old collection folders were reused during reprocessing and folder titles were retained when possible. Inserts found in the Board of Trustees Minute Book were removed and foldered separately. The inserts were subsequently photocopied and those copies are also foldered separately. The Board of Visitors meeting minutes and President's Reports were originally bound, but were disbound in 2016 during reprocessing.","The Office of the President: Board of Visitors Records document the activities of the James Madison University Board of Visitors and its predecessor, the Board of Trustees. The collection is comprised primarily of meeting minutes and correspondence. Minutes from the Board of Visitors' first meeting on July 16, 1964 are included. Researchers should note that meeting minutes from the various iterations of university governing bodies between 1914 and 1963 are not included. The correspondence is chiefly official memoranda, letters concerning business and new board members, and contractual agreements granting faculty members temporary leaves of absence. The collection also includes annual reports and reports to the Board of Visitors, financial materials documenting lease agreements involving James Madison University, athletic program expenditure statements, and audit reports. Miscellaneous items include documents explaining the origins of buildings' names, a Board of Visitors manual, and a document of Board of Visitors Resolutions.","This series comprises chiefly Board of Visitors meeting minutes from 1964 to 2025 beginning with the first meeting on July 16, 1964. During that first meeting the members decided on the official design for \"The Visitors of Madison College,\" agreed upon making the meetings of the Visitors closed to the public, approved of the revised faculty salary, and approved the continuation of degrees being offered to students.
